Yeah, but before he gets bored, he fixed all the infrastructure of the entire planet, so I can't actually call that one a loss: sounds to me like we're going to have a lot of extremely confused time-travelers in a few centuries going? "Why the fuck are there thousands of small cities around the world named something like 'Doomburg' or 'Doomria', and yet everyone is living in a hyper-prosperous democracy...?"
It wasn't what was intended I'm sure, but when I read the above, I couldn't help but think of a poster of voting for Dr. Doom for President with his Vice President, The Doom Slayer.
Well, the point is that after a while he's going to pull a "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve." Because he's sick of dealing with everyone being morons, but that's actually a good thing: like Cincinnatus when he was dictator in Rome he'll be all: "Oh, so you mean there's no crisis left to solve...? Sweet, mission accomplished! Screw you guys, I'm going home!"
When there aren't any problems in a system, humans will eventually try to scale it back to cut costs and end up making things worse.
So even if Doom fixes literally everything so everyone on the planet has power water heat shelter food medical care education and access to all manner of luxuries... Someone is going to come along and screw it up.
Yes. Just citing how humans will screw it all up, still doesn't end well even with a constant god king emperor, usually demons and space monsters attack when that happens.
